Y boy, you 
cease to come 
at night 
To gladly climb upon 

my knee; 
lour childhood days 
have taken flight, 
And soon you will 
be leaving me. 



S./'% 



I may not greet 
you with a 
kiss 
Lest I your manhood 

should offend; 
But, oh, my boy, 

remember this: 
That I remain your 
stanchest friend. 



j*s 





YOUR work is 
waiting for 
your hand, 
1 Ke world will call 
to you ere long 
To serve or to as* 
sume command, 
To sKow if you are 
weak or strong.

MY boy, your 
playtime soon 
shall be 
A pleasant memory 

-no more, 

But in your need 

come back to me, 
Nor pause to knock 
upon my door! 





THE world may 
strive to break 
your will t 
*\our trust in sorrow 

oft may end, 
But come what may, 

remember still 
That I remain your 
faithful friend.
